When you have kept yourself isolated, no one relates to you, you have no way of understanding actually who you are.

I think that's very sad, that I haven't allowed my heart to be broken. I have broken a few.

Don't you be afraid, sweetheart. Death is just a part of life, something we're all destined to do.

And I realized that sometimes the greatest triumphs in your life come in on little cat feet and sit on silent haunches and it's up to you to see it before it moves on.

I grew up in a show-business family, but we were working-class show business. There was nothing glamorous about it. You had great things one day and the next day, nothing.

There was really a snobbery from people in film - they did not want people who had come from television. It was the poor relation of show business, and especially situation comedy.

I always wanted to be a great actor.
